Beautiful Lines

PSA- Your body has creases. It has lines. And folds. And rolls. It is perfectly natural. Without them you can’t bend. They are part of you and they are a beautiful.

Self Portraits

An Unprecedented Year - In Photographs

For a handful of years now my New Year’s practice has been to choose a word of the year. I’ve chosen words like Brave. Expansive. Dream.

In 2018 I started a new practice: The 365 Project. (Click to see 2018’s results.) An assignment for myself to shoot (at least) one photo everyday. It wound up being a beast of a creative and logistical endeavor - so much editing! - so when 2019 rolled around I took a year off.

January 2020, at my daughter’s urging, I picked the 365 Project back up. I thought it might be a challenge, but it couldn’t be any harder than my inaugural project, right?

The Revolution of Being Enough

As a small business owner, I’m not immune to hustle culture. Each year I’m told I need to book more clients. Post more content. Earn more money. Be grateful, yes. Be happy, please. But desire more. Do more. Be MORE.

I found myself thinking. “I am truly grateful for everything I have. Wait, I have enough.” And that led me to softly reclaim the perennial refrain:

“I am enough.”

Ep 24 Megan Jo, The Tributaries That Create Us

How did Megan become a coach and a leader? How did she come up with the idea for Rockstar Camp? What were her motivations and what was the path that brought her here. I know that there is always interesting stories to hear when we ask about them. Her story is fascinating and insightful and a real inspiration for those who may still be wondering what they are going to do when they grow up. Sometimes the answers to what we want to do seem clear and then they aren’t. Then they seem clear again. Then they aren’t again. Life is funny that way. Cheers to discipline and perseverance and being scrappy! All of which Megan Jo talks about in this show.

Your 'New Normal' | Ingenious Alchemy Mini course Offer

How is your ‘new normal’ going? Mine is weird for sure. Some days are good, the sun is out, I get exercise, play with Charlie, make a delicious dinner and feel good and hopeful. Other days everything feels so heartbreakingly sad.

How is your inner critic treating you? Feeling like you "should" be creating-producing-enjoying-delivering-parenting-teaching-working-loving better? (Yeah I struggle with all that too)

The Right Professional Portrait Choice: Michele's Story

“The first headshots were so good and there was such a high level of trust after that first session, it was a no brainer to come back and get a wider variety of shots to use across our materials. We were not disappointed to say the least!”

Ep 23 Mary, What Intuition Tells You

Often when I talk to women about their stories it is only now in the looking back that we are able to see the lessons that we learned. This story is one of those. A time of deep learning, that when it was happening felt unbearable. Mary just had no idea how she could make it through all the grief she was sitting with at that fateful period of time in 2005. She speaks now with a voice of clarity and wisdom from all that she learned back then. The ways that it shaped her life moving forward and how she got to now - in a whole new life she would never have imagined then.
